Discord Notifications

Setting up notifications

Pink Narwhal can send notifications to a Discord channel via webhooks. Here is how to set it up.

Step 1: Create a webhook in Discord

  1. Open your Discord server
  2. Go to the channel where you want notifications
  3. Click the gear icon to open channel settings
  4. Navigate to Integrations then Webhooks
  5. Click New Webhook
  6. Give it a name (like "Pink Narwhal")
  7. Copy the webhook URL

Step 2: Add the webhook to Pink Narwhal

  1. Go to Settings in your dashboard
  2. Find the Discord Webhook URL card
  3. Paste your webhook URL and save

That is it. Notifications are enabled.

Notification types

Six types of notifications, all enabled by default:

NotificationWhen it fires
Backup CompletedA scheduled or manual backup finished successfully
Backup FailedA backup did not complete
Backup RestoredA restore finished
Server AddedA new server was added to monitoring
Server RemovedA server was removed from monitoring
Server Not FoundA server could not be found in the panel

Customizing notifications

Each notification type has its own toggle in Settings (under notification preferences). They appear once you have connected a webhook. Changes save immediately.

Tip

"Backup Failed" and "Server Not Found" are the most important ones. Everything else is nice to have. If your Discord channel is getting noisy, turn off "Backup Completed" first since that one fires every hour per server.

Removing the webhook

Delete the webhook URL from Settings to stop all notifications. You can also delete the webhook from Discord's side, which has the same effect (Pink Narwhal will just fail silently when trying to send).
